Is There a Cure for Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease?

In Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease, a large part of kidney functioning tissues are damaged. Among them, some are just impaired, but some others may be necrotic. At present, no specific treatment can make damaged kidneys recover to as normal as healthy kidneys. The only thing we can do is to protect remaining kidney functioning tissues and repair damaged but not necrotic kidney cells.

Here, we would like to introduce Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy and Toxin-Removing Treatment. With the effects of increasing blood flow into kidneys and regulating the inner body system, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy can help protect remaining kidney functioning tissues and maintaining stable internal environment. As for Toxin-Removing Treatment, it can do a lot to rebuild kidney structure. If both of these two treatments work, patients’ symptoms can be eased and kidney function level increases successfully.

Firstly, diet should include grains, fruits and vegetables, but limiting whole grains and some fruits and vegetables.

Secondly, the diet should be low in sodium, protein, unsaturated fat, potassium and phosphorus.

Finally, the vitamins, calcium and fluid intake should be tailored to individual requirements.
